Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 208

On the rear deck of the Golden Merry, Anke was sitting on the ship's strings quietly looking at the junction of the sea and the sky, with his legs shaking from time to time, looking leisurely.Sauron leaned against the strings of the boat beside her, with his back to the sea, bowed his head with his arms folded and remained silent.Chopper was still hesitating how to tell Encore, walking around but couldn't think of any good solution.

Reaching out to hold all the long ponytails in his hands, Anke rubbed the long hair in his hands with deep eyes, and after a while, he slowly said, "Speak."

The simple two words can't hear any emotion, but let the two people present know that they can't hide it.After a long silence, Sauron told Encore everything Mel said about the formation, without missing a single word.In the end, he was quiet for a while, and then whispered the fact that he least wanted to think of but needed to say, "Blood...you vomited a lot of blood, and there was a lot of blood in your eyes... just a few seconds, just a few seconds, I saw you dying with my own eyes..."

Hearing these words, Anke tilted his head to look at Sauron, then carefully stood up from the strings of the boat, walked to Sauron's side and bent slightly, turned his head to his side with both hands, and looked at him tenderly. It was the struggling eyes that said, "Zoro, I'm fine. Also, I'm sorry for worrying you..."

Sauron just looked at her quietly for a while, then closed his eyes and nodded slightly.The next second, he suddenly felt that someone punched him on the head again, and when he opened his eyes in shock, he saw a certain girl who had been gentle for less than a second repeated her old ways, clenched her small fist and was full of anger. Staring at him intently: "I said, you have been entangled in the fact that I vomited a few mouthfuls of blood?? What does that mean? Am I that weak? Sauron, are you such an indecisive person? And I am not now Are you okay? I told you all that I am fine, but you all ignored what I said? Do you owe me a beating?!"

"Ah no..." Sauron wanted to say something to explain, but he could only remain silent when facing Anke's energetic stare, but the heaviness in his heart had completely disappeared without a trace.After all, if he is still struggling with that matter, not only does it not match his personality, but he has already determined that the little girl next to him who is flailing his teeth and claws has no patience at all, and maybe he will throw him into the sea directly.

After another punch on the head of an unresponsive green algae, Anke continued to sit on the strings of the boat, but this time his back was facing the sea.Pulling the ponytail to his hands, Encore continued to interrogate a trembling reindeer: "Next is you, Chopper. After I fainted, did you check out anything wrong? Because according to Sauron's According to the saying, since the nasty smoke is divided into two streams, besides the reincarnation eye that does not belong to me, there should be something in my stomach that does not belong to my body."

After hesitating for a while, Chopper planned to hide the news that Rafael and the others had appeared, and directly told her about Encore's physical condition, but he still withdrew some information: "Well, I checked a strange thing in your left abdomen. It seems that someone put it in the day after tomorrow. The specific function seems to be able to control all your mind and make you obey other people's orders like a puppet, and that thing is a living thing. However, because of the formation just now, it is now Falling into a deep sleep, I can no longer control you..."

"Is there something in Anke's body that can control her?" Hearing this, Sauron frowned, staring at Anke's abdomen, unable to believe what he just heard.

"It's nothing strange. I vaguely guessed it before I came to Judiciary Island. After all, I am a weapon that does not obey orders. It is not surprising that the doctor tried every means to control me, but I didn't expect him to release a living creature. The stuff goes in, just take it out as soon as possible." An Ke said indifferently, as if she didn't care about the things in her stomach, but her deep eyes were not the same thing.Not long after, Enke changed the subject, squinted his right eye slightly and looked at Chopper with an unnatural expression: "So, that is to say, that formation is used to separate foreign objects in the body, and after I was hit by that formation, , the reincarnation eye and things in the body began to loosen. And because of this, I vomited blood? Then, my body didn’t adapt to the changes and I fainted twice after that, right, Chopper?”

"Yeah." Chopper nodded.

"I see, it seems that what you said is true, Chopper~~", the slightly raised tone was full of jokes, Anke looked at the nervous Chopper with a smile, and his voice became more and more sweet But with a little chill: "But, did you miss a lot of news? Moreover, I always feel that there are too many doubts in your words."

Chopper was so nervous that his whole body trembled slightly, he looked at Zoro as if asking for help, but found that he didn't know how to divert Encore's attention now, so he could only bite the bullet and say with a dry smile: "Haha, what I'm telling is the truth. Do you have any doubts..."

"First, if something in my body is loose, then my internal organs will definitely be injured, and when I vomit blood, you get too nervous and say 'the internal organs are bleeding again'. That is to say, that formation hurt my internal organs Internal organs, but I don't feel any signs of surgery. I don't think you can heal my internal injuries in a short period of time without surgery. Second, I felt my left eye before I passed out. The tearing pain, the reincarnation eye must have been unusable at that time, but after I woke up, my vision was just a little blurred, and I could use the reincarnation eye ability after more than an hour. Chopper, you don’t know anything about the reincarnation eye, it’s impossible It will cure my left eye~~~", after talking a lot, Anke deliberately paused, and then said: "Who has been here and who told you not to say that he was here, is it Bar?"

Completely caught by Encore's words, Chopper panicked for a moment.Sauron, who had been listening quietly, didn't say anything. Although he didn't want Anke to think of her pain when she was injured, he didn't think that Anke wouldn't notice Raphael's presence. When he was in Judiciary Island, he might be affected by the situation. I put this matter aside for the time being urgently, but I will definitely find out the reason for my coma when I am free now.

Raising his right hand to the root of the tied hair, An Ke gently touched the blue beads on the headband, and then untied the hair tie.The long hair that was freed from the bondage fluttered wildly with the wind, but because there was a bandage tied obliquely on Anke's head, the long hair on his head was messed up by the wind, but Anke didn't care At this point, just holding the hair tie up to his eyes, the only right eye that can see things is not moved, but it is full of lingering chills: "He, has he been here?"

Knowing who Encore was talking about, Sauron responded in a low voice.

"That's because... because Encore was injured too badly at that time! We didn't know what to do, and I couldn't do anything about it. Then Mr. Rafael and Teacher Angelia appeared, not only helped Anke to heal Injury, and helped you untie that formation! But they said that they couldn’t let Encore know that they had been there for the time being, and that Encore forgot what happened after waking up, so we wanted to hide it from you! ", Chopper anxiously said everything, and then stopped there helplessly after realizing what he had said, and said in a low voice: "But now you know everything about Encore..."

He didn't ask Chopper who the 'Ms. Angelia' was, but Anke just tightly held the hairband in his hand, and after a long silence, he said, "Go back to the front and leave me alone. Quiet. Don't tell anyone about our conversation, including what's in my stomach. Now the matter is far from over, and we can't let them add unnecessary worries..."

Hearing this, Chopper was still at a loss: "But..."

"I see." Stealing Chopper's words, Zoro worriedly looked at Encore whose face was covered by messy long hair.He couldn't see her expression, but from her flat to slightly abnormal tone, he could guess that after hearing all the ins and outs, Enke didn't feel grateful for Raphael's sudden help. It just felt a little angry, the kind of anger that someone cheated on.

"Zoro..." Chopper, who was full of worries, looked at Enke who was sitting there motionless, and then at Zoro with a serious expression.

"Let's go back first, Chopper. Remember not to tell anyone, especially Luffy." After watching Encore quietly for a while, Zoro turned and left.Chopper hesitated for a moment, but also followed, but looked back at the little figure sitting on the strings of the boat every step of the way.

After the two of them left, An Ke took a breath and jumped back to the deck, and put the hair tie on the strings of the boat.Then he untied the bandage wrapping around his left eye behind him, his completely unrestrained long hair occasionally fluttered a few strands with the passing wind, bit the bandage in his mouth, and Encore, who closed his left eye tightly, tidied it up expressionlessly After his messy hair, he continued to tie the bandage obliquely on his head, and continued to cover his left eye.

Combing her loose long hair with her hands, Anke turned around slowly. In her big purple eyes without waves was the headband lying quietly on the strings of the boat. The beautiful blue beads looked even more mysterious in the sunlight , but it is so out of place with the old ship's side.After smoothing out the long hair in a slow manner, Anke reached out and picked up the hair tie, and looked at it carefully, and seemed to like it, but the rarely seen frost on his face and the eyes with obvious murderous intent were completely contrary to the appearance,'although I have always thought that there must be a reason for the appearance of that little ghost, but I have not found any clues. From this time, it seems that they saved me by a coincidence, but on the other hand, it is more like watching me and not letting me go. I just throw my life away.Imagine his appearance according to this kind of thinking, the most likely thing is, no... If the assumption is true, then all the information about him that he said before can be invalidated... The self-proclaimed [Yates Dilan-D- Raphael's man is back as a mystery...'

After looking at it for a while, Anke held the headband and stretched out his hand to stick out the side of the boat. He looked indifferently at the white headband being blown up by the wind. After touching the three beads on the headband lightly, his small right hand loosened. , The hair tie that fell from his hand just fell to the surface of the sea with the wind.He didn't look at the headband that fell into the sea and sank, Anke just withdrew his hand and turned around without hesitating, and there was a touch of clarity and irony in his deep eyes.The thin little back is full of absoluteness, and the long hair blowing in the wind is infected with a little sadness.The Golden Merry, which left with the wind, took the encore away from the place where the hairband fell, and nothing was seen in the blue sea except for the occasional snow-white waves.

Probably, I know why you showed up, 'angel'...

....................................................................................

Suddenly a tall figure appeared out of thin air on the sea, just standing at the place where the hairband fell, but unfortunately only the surging sea water could be seen there.The figure floated more than ten centimeters above the sea, motionless and quietly watching the direction where the Golden Merry left, and at a distance not far away, you could still see the little figure who turned and left, but it was not long before he was caught Hull covered.

The salty sea breeze gently blew the man's waist-length blue hair, and then it fell down again after the wind passed.At this moment, the perfect and delicate face was filled with lingering gloom, and the sky blue eyes, which were always smiling, were also full of sadness.He didn't understand why Anke threw that hair tie into the sea. To be precise, he didn't want to understand Encore's reason for doing so.He knew very well that Anke knew of his appearance, so he kept looking at the direction where the Golden Merry was going away, but he still couldn't see that small figure appearing in his field of vision.

Angelia on the island cloud in the sky just held her own crystal ball silently, she didn't miss the murderous look that Anke couldn't hide when he dropped the hairband.Angelia sighed softly. From Encore's expression, she already knew that the suspicious she had directly listed Raphael on the list of key realm objects through this incident.Although this time, the appearance of Raphael and Angelia did save her life, but from a certain point of view, their appearance was too coincidental and too timely.And it was this coincidence that was comparable to a miracle that Encore, who had always been cautious, suddenly had an idea, an idea that could explain why Raphael, whose background was so powerful that it was against the sky, would appear beside her.

Angelia looked at the little girl in the crystal ball who was smiling sweetly at her partner with a blank expression, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes, "I came here to save Miss Anke, but I didn't expect her to notice something strange."Seeing Miss Anke's appearance, she has completely doubted Wang's identity and position, and the distance between Wang and her has finally become a little bit closer, and the distance has become ethereal in an instant.It seems that the next situation will be difficult to predict. After all, Miss Anke must have assumed a reason for the king's appearance, and it is precisely because of that reason that she showed such killing intent.The timing of saving her was too coincidental, so coincidental that a second longer would be too early, so she realized that we were watching her...'

After quietly looking at the girl with fluttering hair in the crystal ball for a while, Angelia frowned slightly and touched the crystal ball. After the mist passed, the situation on the sea surface emerged.Looking at the boy who stood there stubbornly full of distress, he could only lower his eyes sadly: "I'm sorry, Wang.You are also very embarrassed, but our country is too mysterious, and the ancient and sacred family and blood have prevented us from appearing in front of the world.You bear too many responsibilities and missions, and Miss Anke is one of them.Just because she has that eye.Now, just hope...'

I just hope Miss Anke can understand that her first meeting with Wang was designed...

..............................................................................

The sea is still rippling with waves, and the dilapidated Golden Merry is sailing towards the capital of water on the calm sea, the smiling sheep's head is full of human tenderness.On the boat, the bruised companions had bandaged their wounds after the fierce battle, and were waiting for Encore to return, and Sauron also told them about the formation. Everyone was surprised to hear this, because they had never been in contact with it before. Such a supernatural thing.Anke, who was walking back slowly from the back deck, never looked back even once, although she knew that there must be someone standing on the sea inconceivably behind.As if he didn't know anything, An Ke smiled sweetly, and said to Luffy who was sitting there looking at him, "Hey, why does the captain look like he's being bullied?"

Luffy, whose upper body could already move, sat on the ground, stretched out his hand to grab her, and looked up and down with his eyes wide open: "Enke, are you alright?"

"Huh?", tilting his head in doubt, after thinking about why Luffy asked such a question, An Ke couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Are you worried that I will feel uncomfortable hearing the reason for the injury?"

"Yeah, yum!!", Luffy, Chopper, and Nami who kept nodding, Zoro, Sanji, and Robin were also slightly worried.A group of Frankie who didn't know why looked at each other in blank dismay, with question marks all over their heads.

"What's so uncomfortable, I just want to ask the reason why I fainted, but one or two of them were scared to death. You know, except for the one time five years ago, I have never tried to be injured and fainted! It’s not my character to let it go like this without finding out, and if I don’t find out the cause of this injury, then I may fall into the same weakness next time.” After a pause, Encore stretched out his hand and pressed Pressing the bandage on the left eye, the innocent smile showed a little bitterness, "Although, the weakness that they caught this time can't be changed. And seeing that this is effective for me, they may continue to use that formation to deal with me, So I need to research a countermeasure earlier..."

There was a moment of silence in the boat, and then Luffy directly stretched out his arms and embraced him and said solemnly: "If I see those guys next time, I will definitely beat them up! Let them have no time to do anything to hurt Encore!" Law!!"

"This method works right now~ Then I'll leave it to you next time, Captain~~~", Enke didn't say much, just smiled softly, and then slowly walked towards Luffy, after all, a certain active captain Although her legs couldn't move, she was lying on the ground with her arms around her and slowly rubbed towards her.

"Indeed, according to this statement, it is most effective to stop them only when they haven't activated the formation..." Nami couldn't hide her seriousness, and then tapped her head and raised her right fist and said confidently: "In short ! Next, everyone has to cheer up and take good care of your wounds! Take good care of Encore!!"

"Oh!!!", the teenagers burning with the small universe are full of ambition.

"...", Encore, who was listed as a key protection target for no reason, looked at the boiling partners, shook his hands with a little shame, and said: "There is no need to make such a big fanfare, and I don't need your protection...", later The words gradually weakened under the increasingly hot and compelling eyes of everyone, and finally disappeared completely.Looking helplessly at the partners who wrote 'I don't agree with anything you said, the wounded should rest in peace! ! ', Anke could only change his words and said: "Yes, then please protect me..."

"That's right! You can't move around until the wound is healed!", the straw hat captain who couldn't move his lower body for the time being

"It's best not to be willful...", the green-haired swordsman who had already started to remove the bandage (the bandage was only wrapped by Chopper for a few minutes)
"I will take good care of your body, cutie.", the blond cook with a cigarette in his mouth

"I will check the information and heal your eyes!", the reindeer doctor in a state of struggle.

"Remember to take your medicine obediently~~, just leave the information about the formation to me for investigation~~", the historian with a gentle smile

"You can't fight casually~, it's better to leave the rough work to the boys~~", I don't know what kind of wishful thinking, the inexplicably treacherous navigator.

"Remember...", the sniper king who wanted to say something but automatically silenced it.

"Haha, it seems that there is finally a result~~", Granny Ke Keluo narrowed her eyes with a smile; Chimoni and Kunbe started playing again, and it didn't take long for Chopper to be dragged into their queue, laughing and laughing. Have fun; Franky is doing the weird "one, two, three, four" dance moves along the way.

Thinking of the hard life of porcelain dolls that will start again in the next few days, An Ke can only sigh deeply, but then a touch of melancholy floats in her heart: Will she be able to be with her friends in the next few days? It's still a problem, although she has taken back all her knowledge and domineering, but now this kind of peaceful time may not be much...Feeling that he had to care about the movement of the navy unit again, Anke shook his head to shake off the heaviness in his mind, raised his head and smiled at Robin and said, "Speaking of which, I forgot to tell you, Robin~~~"

"What??" Robin, who was suddenly named, looked at Encore in surprise.

Turning her head sideways, her long hair slipped down her shoulders, Anke smiled with crooked brows and eyes, her genuine smile was so pure that there was no impurity, "Welcome back, Straw Hat Pirates historian Nico Robin~~~~"

The group was quiet for a while, and then all the members cheered excitedly, among which the laughter of a certain captain and the praise of a certain nympho cook were the most: "Ahahahaha!! We succeeded!!!" , "Miss Robin, you are so beautiful~~~~~~~"

"Robin~~Don't run around next time~~~", Nami and Chopper hung on Robin with happy faces.And the sniper king is bragging: "Hahaha, leave everything to Captain Wu... the sniper king is right~~~"

"Pirate brothers and sisters are so handsome~~~(喵喵~~~)", Chimoni and Kunbe also jumped up and down with them.Grandma Ke Keluo who was still sitting on the ground chuckled, her face still full of drunkenness: "Haha, it's good to be young..."

"Oh~~Leave it to me in super~~", Franky was still dancing strange dance steps, and finally put his hands together to integrate a blue star, "super~~~~~"

Seeing their happy faces, Robin smiled even more heartily, couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude from the corners of his eyes, and whispered: "Thank you..."

Nami, who was hanging on her body, heard this, and immediately said dissatisfied: "Thank you for what, really, what are you doing with us like this?!"

"Yeah, thank you again and beat you, bastard!!!", Chopper who was also hanging on Robin's body pretended to be fierce and shouted, but the cute civet cat's appearance was not intimidating.

"Hahaha~~~~"

And Sauron, who was standing aside, shed a drop of cold sweat silently watching their family reunion and celebrating together, then raised the corners of his lips and sat on the ground relaxedly.An Ke walked to his side, put his hands on his shoulders, and leaned over lazily. Sauron was still sitting on the ground motionless, not paying any attention to the small weight of An Ke on his body.Looking at Luffy who was smiling happily in the crowd, Anke lowered his eyes silently, then raised a smile and said with a smile: "Everyone is very happy, this is very good..."

"That's right..." Sauron looked at them happily smiling for a while, then turned his gaze to Encore's long hair that fell on his shoulders, and said lightly, "Why did you put your hair down?"

"Oh, don't you think I look better like this?"

Thinking of the blue beads on Encore's original hairband, and remembering that Encore kept silent about Raphael's appearance now, Zoro nodded along her topic and said, "It's okay..."

Seeing that Encore and Zoro were so far away from everyone, a certain captain immediately raised his hands in dissatisfaction and shouted: "Encore, Zoro! Come here!! Let's have a party~~~~"

"Oh, PARTY!!!", followed by the booing crowd

"Isn't there no food in the boat? Let's wait until we return to the water capital to hold the PARTY..." Anke smiled and broke everyone's illusions, and then said to the wounded who were still bandaged: "Now, everyone should first Let’s settle down and recuperate. Especially Luffy~"

"Yes!! Cutie's order is number one~~I will heal my wounds obediently~~~~", Sanji, who raised his hand, was the first to say.

"I, I will also heal my wounds obediently~~~", Chopper who slid off Robin's body was also shaking his hands vigorously, and then found that there was no trace of bandages on Sauron's body, and immediately put on a tiger's face at the speed of light Pulled out a roll of bandages from the medical kit, rushed to Sauron and yelled at Fangfang: "Sauron, you took off all the bandages again?? It hasn't been a few minutes since I wrapped them up??"

"Anyway, I didn't suffer any serious injuries, and I feel uncomfortable with the bandages on..."

"That's not OK!!"

"You have tiny scratches all over your body, Sauron..." Encore, who was a little helpless, walked away from Sauron, then folded his hands and said to a certain angry ship doctor: "Go and wrap him into a dumpling." Look, Chopper. Let me know if he dares to undo the bandage again."

"I see!!", Deling's ship doctor pulled off the bandage and started working.It's a pity that one of the wounded didn't cooperate at all, and kept trying to avoid the bandage attack of a certain reindeer doctor: "Wait a minute, I really don't need to wrap..."

"Stay there for me obediently, Suo, Long, Jun~~~", An Ke laughed brilliantly, but Sauron felt a deep chill that was opposite to the brilliant, and could only feel depressed under the supervision of a certain chick. , Let Chopper wrap dense bandages around his body.

"Hahahaha!! So interesting~~~~~", the captain who was also wrapped like a mummy kept clapping his hands, expressing that he was very happy watching the show.If his legs could move, he would definitely clap his feet too.Sanji and the others also looked like they were watching the show, and they didn't intend to help at all.Not to mention that Sauron's injury really needed to be bandaged, and secondly, they rarely saw Sauron deflated. They only saw him being thrown into the sea countless times with his domineering sideways.

................................................

All the staff gathered near the sheep's head.Luffy was placed on the captain's special seat, and Encore sat on the railing near the sheep's head, lowering his head slightly and silently looking at his swaying legs; Zoro and the others, including Frankie, stood there casually .

"Thank you, Meili..." Luffy, who was lying on the sheep's head, said in a low voice, his tone was soft as if he was whispering to an old friend, "Thanks to you, we escaped. Li will come to pick us up, think about how we have been protected by you all this time, it is really great to have a partner like you, thank you, Meili~~~"

"But why don't you seem surprised at all?" Franky, who still couldn't figure it out, asked directly, "Aren't you curious about the sudden appearance of this ship?"

"Why are you curious? Is there anything strange about the appearance of the Merry? I heard the shout of the Merry just now~~" Turning over on the sheep's head, Luffy shouted loudly: "Yes Come on, Merry~ Say something~~~"

"Idiot, how could the ship talk?" Sauron retorted helplessly, trying hard to resist the urge to remove the bandage.Although he did hear familiar but unfamiliar shouts just now, he didn't think the ship would come automatically without the driver.

"However, I also heard voices..." Nami, who was also a little puzzled, didn't get too entangled in this problem, turned around and walked to the central deck, thinking with a smile: "If I didn't see him on Judiciary Island, I might as well." would think it was Merry's voice, Merry herself who came here...'

Hearing their answers, Franky was silent, recalling the legend about the ship spirit.Not long after, there were only Luffy, Encore, Zoro, Sanji and Robin left at the bow, and everyone else was walking around in the Golden Merry: Chimoni and Kombe who were busy with adventures, as well as the trapped The group of Chopper pulled up, the sniper king was looking at the damage caused by the wind and rain on Meili's body; Frankie was still frowning and thinking about the boat spirit, and Granny Ke Keluo went to the kitchen loudly with a smile There to see if there is any wine; Nami is trying to find the handsome boy in each room.

After looking at Encore who kept silent and lowered his head, Sauron walked to the side and folded his hands and looked directly at the sea in front of him.After thinking about it, he still asked, "Speaking of which, Enke, don't you get the knife out? It doesn't seem very good to seal it in the body, does it?"

Anke stopped shaking his legs, half of his field of vision was the undulating blue water and the white waves lapping on the hull, and he replied after a few seconds: "Chi Yue is much better now, even if it is sealed back into the body, it will not cause any serious damage. Moreover, it is not very convenient to carry it on the body, and it takes a lot of effort to summon it out..."

"But," Sanji looked at Anke's small body, hesitated for a while, and said, "How can a sword be compatible with the human body? Although I know that the two swords of the little cutie are both thousand-year-old demon swords, But it's still amazing…”

"In a simpler understanding, both Chiyue and Xuelian are spiritual knives, and don't underestimate the ability called 'magic' or 'magic'. To be more precise, I don't know Chiyue Is Yuehe Xuelian a thousand-year demon sword, but I often hear people say that the thousand-year demon sword is a thousand-year demon sword, and I think it sounds very cool, so I say it to others~~"

"I feel handsome..." Sauron was a little ashamed to hear this reason, but he did not deny that the two knives had the potential of a thousand-year-old demon sword.After all, he hadn't seen a knife that could summon ice, snow and flames, and those two knives really felt like they had their own consciousness.

"Encore's knives..." Lu Fei sat up abruptly, reached out and grabbed Anke's hanging long hair, shook it and said, "Anke, how did you summon them? Could it be?" pain??"

Anke tilted his head and shook his left hand at Luffy, motioning him to look at the crescent moon pattern on the back of his hand, "Do you see this moon? After sealing the knife in, a corresponding pattern will appear on the back of your hand. The red moon is the moon, and the snow Love is like a lotus, when you need it, just hold down their patterns and call them out, it doesn't hurt much..."

"Really?"

"real."

Quietly looking at Anke's indifferent face, Luffy chose to believe her, let go of the long hair in his hand, retracted his hand and continued to lie on his back on his special seat.Robin just looked at them with a smile and didn't ask any questions.

The vicinity of the sheep's head fell into silence, and there was a peaceful atmosphere. The occasional laughter from Cimoni and the "crashing" of the waves combined into a harmonious concerto.The rare peace made everyone feel drowsy in their tired bodies and minds, and a faint sleepiness came to their hearts for a while, and they gently persuaded them to close their eyelids and rest for a while.

Silently looking at the waves of sunlight rippling under his feet, Anke raised his hand to touch the bandage on his left eye, then slowly closed his right eye, the long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on his pale face, as if caught in a Shen Mian's appearance made one unable to bear to disturb this delicate child who looked as fragile as crystal.I don't know how long it took, Anke was so pale that he couldn't see any blood. His lips opened and closed a few times, and his too soft voice melted into the noise of the waves.
"If, I disappear, you, what will you do..."

The wind-like soft child's voice was inaudible, but everyone felt as if they were beating each word in their hearts, and it was as clear and loud as thunder echoing in their ears.The drowsiness disappeared without a trace, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the child on the strings of the boat who seemed to be falling down at any moment.Luffy jumped down from the sheep's head suddenly, and the information he heard was beyond comprehension. He completely forgot the fact that his legs could not move, and stood there straight and stared at Encore; Takaya was nervous and walked forward unconsciously; Robin and Sanji were also panic-stricken, always feeling that what they just heard was a hallucination, but the growing uneasiness in their hearts faintly told them that it was true .

As if knowing their doubts mixed with uneasiness, Anke slowly opened his right eye, the pure purple against the beautiful light blue sea below, with an illusory reality, his pale lips opened and closed several times again, being repeated The question slipped in the passing wind, "If, I disappeared, what would you do..."

"Encore, what are you talking about??", unable to bear the feeling that she would disappear at any moment, Luffy stepped forward and walked to Encore's side, and forced her face that had been looking at the sea towards him.Holding that pale face with slightly trembling hands, Luffy stared closely at the big purple eyes without any waves and asked repeatedly, "What are you talking about?"

Sauron and the others surrounded him nervously, looking worriedly at the little figure sitting on the strings of the boat.Nami, Chopper and Sniper King who heard the sound gathered together. Frankie stood outside with Granny Kokoro and a cat, feeling the heavy atmosphere uneasily.Quietly staring at the sweaty face in front of him, Anke slowly opened his mouth and repeated his question word by word: "If, I disappeared, what would you do... "

The extremely clear words and sentences were transmitted to everyone's ears through the sea wind and the sound of the waves. The simple questions made up of a few words were understandable, but they did not understand the meaning inside.Maybe it's more because I don't want to understand the meaning of it being so heavy that I can't breathe.

Unexpectedly, he didn't get an immediate answer. Encore looked at Luffy who was frozen there seriously, and tried to tilt his head from Luffy's hands to see Zoro and the others who were also frozen there, and said slightly pleadingly: " answer me……"

Luffy gently let go of his hand and took a few steps back, but bumped directly into the people around him, without looking back to see who he was stepping on. Luffy looked at the girl who was waiting for the answer without blinking.There was silence around, Franky and the others knew that they had no right to answer, so they chose to be quiet; the sniper king knew that he was no longer qualified to answer, so he chose to be silent; Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Nami and Chopper knew they had the answer. In the hands of his own captain, he chose to wait for him to speak.

"I'll go find you!", the solemn voice seemed to be declaring the most rigorous oath, Luffy stared unswervingly at Enke's still plain right eye, and answered the uneasy question on behalf of his partners. Question, "We'll find you, if we search the whole world, we'll find you!"

As if he didn’t see the firm face of the captain, or the swearing solemnity of his partners, Anke still kept looking at them with his head tilted, and asked again without any ups and downs: “If, I disappeared, and You also completely forgot about me. What will you do..."

Without a moment of hesitation, and without even spending time thinking about the answer to this question, Luffy took off his straw hat and pressed it on his chest, looked at Encore with a serious expression and said, "We will think of you, we will definitely think of you! Even in memory Without you, but our souls will definitely remember you! Because we are partners!"

No one objected to Luffy's words, as if what Luffy said was what they thought in their hearts. They looked at the child sitting there quietly, and their eyes firmly conveyed their beliefs.As if being burned by their blazing eyes, Anke avoided their gaze as if evading, turned his head and continued to stare at the sea in front of him, his face, which was always full of hypocritical smiles, was full of bitterness that could not be concealed, and slowly lowered his eyes Eyelids conceal the despair mixed with gratitude and joy
How could she bear such a heavy oath...
